James Hand

James has worked exclusively in insurance law since being admitted to practice in 2004, which is one reason why he is so detailed in his approach. Prior to joining Meridian in January 2011, he gained valuable experience at a large national firm, focusing on property and liability claims as well as defending common law claims and statutory recoveries pursuant to the Accident Compensation Act. His experience extends to managing complex historial abuse claims, demonstrating his ability to navigate sensitive and challenging matters with professionalism and care.

Among those to have benefited from James’s skills and efficiency are large supermarket chains, construction, logistics and manufacturing companies. He is also regularly instructed to act on behalf of London underwriters in their Australian risks, a range of local insurers, and large corporations.

James has been recognised in Best Lawyers Australia since 2021, for his expertise in Personal Injury Litigation and Insurance Law.
